I have a problem that just does not seem to go away. I have a 3 SB household, two of which (one wired and one wireless) stream effectively and in an uninterrupted way. The third, located furthest away from my Belkin Pre-N wireless router, takes as long as a minute to start playing (I load something from the server, the VU meter shows streaming (deflection) but no sound, and often drops out after about 2 minutes of playing, will stay silent for as long as 15 min, and then start playing again. I'm running SC 7 (downloaded yesterday) and the performance is identical as with 6.x versions. I'm not a networking expert, but my working theory has been that it is taking a long time to "buffer" enough info to get the stream started, but the behavior I describe seems to contradict that a bit. I have 58-60% signal strength on the misbehaving SB. It is on a second floor on the opposite end of the house, with router located in the corner of the basement (so it punches thru 2 floors and across the house). I know, not perfect, but all other wireless devices work nicely with this set up, including another SB and the laptop I'm typing on.
I've considered purchasing WAP, as I can get a cable to the mid level of the home, but I don't want the hassle and fussing it would take to wire the upstairs bedroom. Any thoughts or advice? Love my SB's. Have three so the Duet will wait. -- utowana ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utowana's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4204 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44476 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
